The Galliard Ensemble is excited to present five new programme proposals, encompassing a wide range of music from their extensive repertoire.

Each of the programmes has been put together by a different member of the quintet, giving the players the opportunity to explore their own unique and charismatic approach to the repertoire.

In choosing their programmes, the Galliards are able to draw on a great wealth of experience, having performed together as a group for over 20 years. The line-up of five players is unchanged since they were BBC New Generation Artists 2002-2004, and they have gone on to become established as one of Britain’s leading chamber groups.

The Galliard Ensemble will perform with Simon Callaghan in April 2020 at London’s Conway Hall, where Simon is Artistic Director.

Former BBC New Generation Artists, the Galliard Ensemble is established as one of Britain’s leading chamber groups. The Galliards are able to offer a fantastically varied set of programme proposals drawn from an expansive repertoire ranging between the seventeenth century and the present day.

Internationally acclaimed pianist Stephen Hough, violinist Tasmin Little and The Galliard Ensemble (previous BBC New Generation Artists) head the line-up at this year’s Hertfordshire Festival of Music, which runs from 10th – 16th June.
